Courtney Khail | Southern Watercolor Artist (photo by Elle Golden)

Hi, I'm Courtney.

I'm a Southern contemporary artist currently living in Athens, Georgia with my husband and our rescue mutt. Here you'll find a peek into what inspires me, new pieces I'm working on, and a whole lot of random thoughts. (Oh! And for those curious, my last name is pronounced “kale”.)

Safe travels, Topaz! This beauty is on the way to its new home in the Mile High City.

Fun fact- we used to live in Denver and still try to get out to Colorado at least once a year to visit friends and take in the mountains. While it’s no longe

Whipping up some pretty gorgeous views in the studio today

“I’d Love To Be Mysterious, But I Talk Too Much” The only mystery here is why you thought I wouldn’t offer my opinion. (And let’s be honest- if I didn’t say it with words, my eyes would no doubt give me away.)

"I found I could say things with color & shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for." - Georgia O' Keefe

So true. Sometimes painting feels like the only way I can truly speak. (Which says a lot because I talk pretty much non stop. I'm even reading this out loud as I type to make sure it "sounds" like me haha)

Lovely quote

Just another reason to love Audry Hepburn. All good things to believe in (and remember)

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. ~Audrey Hepburn
